Hi,
I bought the AKG k141 headphones, and I'm loving them for tracking vocals. They are semi-open and supra-aural (sit on the ears instead of around them), and this allows me to hear the sound of my vocals "in the room". I can give a better performance this way.
The problems is that the left ear went dead after 4 days of use. I investigated, and it turns out that this is a common problem with AKG headphones.
From an Amazon review:
"the soldering of the cables to the metal hoop that transmit current to the right ear broke. Apparently, the cable itself is of very bad quality, and does not adhere to soldering (that's the judgment of an engineer who took a look at them). Also, after-sales in my music shop told me that they get a lot of returns for these cans."
Does anyone know of solidly constructed headphones that are similar to the AKG k141 headphones, most importantly being semi-open and supra-aural (so I can hear my vocals ambiently when tracking)? Either that, or I'll need to become handy with a soldering iron :).
Thanks,
Alex
